she looked into the mirror and sees her blood shot eyes
she realized that she don't want to look like this
she gets out her high school picture and stares..
into the eyes of the girl that she use to be.
until now she didn't see her reflection of the here and now
now shes ready to change it back to be the good girl she use to be
so people will see her true reflection.
in her reflection now she sees dark circles under her eyes scars and bruises her boyfriend gave but still she stayed
now shes getting away
she went to a center to get back on track
now her bruises faded away
the scares are lighter
she is back to her true reflection
she is back to the girl the preacher loves to hear singing in the choir
she is back to the girl who can live her own life with out the drugs and side affects
she is now and forever back to her true reflection.

wow!
very passionate and almost angry when I read it! firey and almost powerful to read about this.
The life flowed to your words as they were written and it is a great recovery of the self, the soul, and as you put it nicely your 'true reflection'
well done
